Chapter 895 - 346: Eternal Guest_3
"You should return to where you came from!"
Guan Xin somewhat embarrassedly grabbed Ye Wuyue’s sleeve.
Ye Wuyue suddenly seemed like a different person, becoming quiet, no longer the lively rabbit, but instead a pearl bird from a wealthy family’s deep courtyard.
Fan Wubing smiled knowingly and then said to Chan’Er,
"Chan’Er, would you stay here and live with the two sisters for a while, okay?"
Xianchan curiously glanced at him and Si Jiuyou.
Fan Wubing said,
"We have a little matter to attend to and will return to pick you up once it’s finished."
Chan’Er nodded with a smile.
"Such a good child!" Fan Wubing said to Guan Xin, "It’ll be a trouble to you to look after Chan’Er and this idiot."
Guan Xin knew what Fan Wubing had to do afterwards and nodded solemnly.
Afterwards, Fan Wubing and Si Jiuyou left together.
Ye Wuyue watched the place where they disappeared, realizing after a while and asked wide-eyed,
"Did ’this idiot’ refer to me?"
Guan Xin glanced sideways and turned her head away.
Ye Wuyue shouted angrily into the air, "Only those who call others idiots are idiots themselves!"
This childish remark amused Guan Xin.
"Why are you laughing?" Ye Wuyue asked unhappily.
Guan Xin shook her head, took Chan’Er by the hand and turned to go inside.
Ye Wuyue watched her back and muttered softly,
"You’re the real idiot."
...
Afterwards, Si Jiuyou went separately to the Illusion Immortal Tower and Changsheng Continent, identifying herself as Fu Ming from the Eternal Immortal Sect, to meet with her good friends Tang Tang and Luo Ling Immortal.
The friendship with Tang Tang was established in Little South Continent.
Fu Ming was undoubtedly an outlier in the Eternal Immortal Sect at the time, with no friends to truly connect with. To her, Tang Tang was like a soul mate. Though time has passed, Si Jiuyou, or rather Fu Ming, still returns as pure and unchanged as a youth—with innocence undiminished. Thus, Tang Tang still feels no sense of unfamiliarity with her.
Fan Wubing saw true regression back to simplicity in her.
She never needed to perform acts of regression back to simplicity; just expressing herself freely, was authenticity.
And this, Fan Wubing could not achieve.
He somewhat understood the reason why he was so fascinated by his senior sister.
Liking someone, isn’t it about pursuing what you don’t possess that others do?
Si Jiuyou was also an exceedingly accepting person. Even though Luo Ling Immortal now no longer had the same sharpness as before, it did not affect her attitude at all. Although the gift of destiny is not a compliment, to her friends and even to this world, she indeed is like a gift of destiny.
...
However, after returning to the Divine Phoenix Hall, Si Jiuyou transformed back into the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, mysterious and noble, invoking awe.
Yet, Fan Wubing also greatly liked this feeling.
Si Jiuyou donned again a red-gold long skirt, a mysterious light flowing in her deep eyes,
"Do you still have something on your mind?"
"Do I?" Fan Wubing touched his nose.
Si Jiuyou said blandly, "You can’t fool me."
Fan Wubing smiled and said,
"I was thinking, how great it would be if here, we would greet the end of this path."
"The words of a coward."
"Oh... Fu Ming senior sister is still better," Fan Wubing said discontentedly.
Si Jiuyou’s brow couldn’t help but raise, smiling without humor, "You think I have two souls in my body? Just a junior brother, actually wants to question my nature. No matter what I am like, you must respect me, listen to me! You are not allowed to betray me or leave me!"
"Senior sister, your desire to control is too strong!" Fan Wubing said, "I will one day get married, ugh! One day start a family!"
Si Jiuyou revealed a chilling smile, "Wherever I am, your home will be there."
"I—"
"No rebuttals!"
Fan Wubing sighed in his heart. He couldn’t understand whether the senior sister truly didn’t understand or pretended not to understand. But the more she was like this, the less he dared to ask casually. What if it wasn’t the answer he wanted?
He was now like a porcelain doll; if rejected, might break.
Si Jiuyou rose and walked to the balcony, staring into the vast sky, her gaze resolute,
"They’re coming!"
"What?"
"Those destined entities with eternal essence. They reverse the Path of Eternity, nearing this world. Normally, it wouldn’t be this soon."
"Is it because of the demise of Heaven?"
"Yes. Heaven inherently had eternal essence; the echo of its death will certainly be heard by other destined entities with eternal essence." Si Jiuyou looked back at Fan Wubing, "At this moment, they swarm towards us. Wubing, are you ready?"
Fan Wubing laughed,
"Guests coming from afar, isn’t it delightful?"
